Which poet wrote the poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage?

• A. Lord Byron
• B. Percy Bysshe Shelley
• C. John Keats
• D. William Wordsworth

Answer: (A)

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is written by Lord Byron. This long narrative poem, first published in parts starting in 1812, follows a semi-autobiographical traveler as he journeys through Europe. It helped establish Byron’s fame in the Romantic era and introduced the Byronic hero—a moody, charismatic figure defined by passion, disillusionment, and individuality. The other poets listed are well known for different works: Shelley is famous for poems like Ozymandias and his radical ideas; Keats for his richly crafted odes; Wordsworth for his nature-infused early Romantic verse. But this particular work is Byron’s, making him the correct author.
